OmniAir is preparing to launch the first ever DSRC-based vehicle-to-everything (V2X) device certification program. Before launching, we will be authorizing one test laboratory as part of a certification demonstration project to help finalize our test lab authorization policy and procedures.

Following the official launch of OmnAir’s Connected Vehicle Device Certification Program, we will open up this opportunity to other test laboratories. This demonstration project is for test laboratories ready to test DSRC devices now

Accredited test laboratories that are OmniAir members are encouraged to participate and submit a proposal to become the first authorized test laboratory for connected vehicle device certification.

The successful candidate will demonstrate device testing, laboratory capabilities and conformance based on 2016 standards with SCMS/CAMP quality certificates.
